I can push ~10GB of video to a plex server , which is on a USB3 drive connected to an Nvidia Shield TV in just a few minutes, with windows showing transfer speed of about 50Mbs

without having Gb connects throughout the chain that 50-100 drops to 10 at best. I have not benchmarked wifi but if a target laptop has a wifi 5Gz ac card or dongle and is nearby [ strong signal] , that should easily and quickly sync a hundred books in the time it take you to make a cup of coffee.
Note that "bps" is "bits per second", and "Bps" is "bytes per second". I think all your speeds are actually bytes per second, aren't they?
